and the village around it, well, west of vavchansk, the fighting is intense, the enemy is using dilltry and armored vehicles, they have already entered directly vavchansk , fighting is going on in the city from our side. reserves are used, armored vehicles have arrived, and the leadership of the operational-tactical group in this direction is trying to stabilize the situation, that is, to stop the advance, inflict damage with the means that are available, and the capabilities of these means are increasing from the point sight of striking. for this , additional ammunition is added, as well as reserves for the military service of the forces, in fact, in this regard, it is not excluded, since we remember a couple of weeks ago, general skibitsky representative gur had a statement regarding the fact that there are plans and intelligence is known our and foreign countries regarding the fact that there are plans for the enemy's actions in the kharkiv and sumy directions, with... direction, we see how it is happening, made, we have hope, conclusions regarding actions and preparations, and no

succeed further, there are such plans, and he has plans in connection with the fact that through vavchanskgo to the ku'. on the other hand, because they already cannot take kupyansk for how many places , it is fundamental for them, here the event is from the other side, and it is very important, strategically, in addition, in general, now the hostilities in kharkiv directions, well, two, which are divided into vavchansk and klinka, have already grown from a battle of development to a battle for the border strip. and then we will also talk about mobilization in ukraine, today is the last day before the law on strengthening mobilization comes into force, the law comes into force tomorrow, although here it is worth admitting that in some moments it seems to have started working earlier than it came into force. well, for example, men abroad have already been restricted from consular services until they update their military records. men in ukraine, in order to update the data, for hours, and sometimes for days, they stand in queues at the tsc. correspondent. rfe/rl's roxala nachai visited seve

area, battles are taking place in the western and the northern surroundings of vavchansk, the enemyactively trying to attack, including with the support of armored vehicles. our guns are working, the artillery finally received enough ammunition to work, including in a virtually 24/7 mode, destroying all enemy attempts to attack in various areas, in particular in the suburbs of vovchansk. what's next? the situation on the battlefield will be determined by resources. if the ukrainian army continues to receive timely and uninterrupted and full-fledged resources, in particular artillery, the enemy is unlikely to have any prospects to move forward, and what’s more, what we didn’t say about those fortifications... they are not very well designed and made, but nevertheless, at a distance of 8-10 km from the dazhkordon line, the first line of defensive structures in kharkiv oblast has been created, and therefore the enemy will have a lot of trouble if he tries to attack our defensive formations, besides , the enemy does not really have many resources, in fact, 32 russian troops are concentr

it still remains in vavchansk itself.e you will come back, of course, what are they doing here, everyone hopes. yes, they are climbing to rob us, oh, i ask the waterman, why did you come, well, everything goes for money, even a student said for money, nothing, nothing, let’s sit down, yes, oh-oh-oh, yes, hold me sew, hold, she's on her feet, i'm holding, i 'm holding, don't be afraid, sit down, sit down, sit down, don't be afraid, oh, oh, thank you, turn around, phone, documents, and... are you staying? yes, what? and why don't you go? and who will i go to? my dear i have no one, my legs don't want to walk alone i have see how i flash this is such a son. nowhere to go, no one. that's how they help everyone in kharkiv. and everyone, everyone, let them help, let god help them all, let them help. yes, it's not scary to stay, here already. my friends are by my side, well, let them go, so as not to kill them, son, even if they kill there, even if they kill here, then i will know what i think, and that's it, there is no one, ev

russian troops have recently advanced within vavchansk. this is reported by the american institute for the study of war, referring to geolocation footage published in... the day before, at the same time, as evidenced by other footage, the ukrainian military pushed the russians out of several buildings and also have a slight advance in the north-eastern part of the city. this means that the situation in vovchansk is dynamic, analysts say. in the general staff of ukraine during yesterday, regarding the situation in the kharkiv direction, only the battles in the liptsi region were reported. let me remind you that this is one of the two russian bridgeheads in the north of kharkiv oblast. as for vovchansk, there were several reports. scattering of air bombs on the city, only in the evening address there was information about eight repulsed attacks nearby liptsiv and starytsia, this is to the southeast of vovchansk, as well as about battles in the pletenivka-vovchansk direction. in the russian ministry of defense, meanwhile, they are talking abo

enemy attacks and carry out combat operations, the police, as of now, they enter or do not enter vavchansk rarely, people who evacuate, and the evacuation by us is being carried out even now, however, taking into account the danger, the police near vovchansk pick up people who evacuate either alone or with the help of the military, the police work with them, well, for example, over the last day more than 10 people evacuated from vovchansk, and so every day, i understand correctly when you say near vovchansk, that is , it is somewhere near the city. it happens differently, however, given the danger, vovchansk is now dangerous to enter and stay there, unfortunately we had a tragic event when its police cars were driving to take people who asked for help and they were attacked by fpv drones, and we have a policeman killed and a policeman injured. mr. serhiy, i must clarify that currently in the city of vovchan, given the difficult security situation, there are no ukrainian police officers, only military personnel. as of now , the police do not actually visit the city of vovchansk, in fact, th

at a distance of 7-12 km and it is clear that there are no further prospects, i wanted to capture vavchansk, but there is a natural barrier there, it is a river and heights, and of course, from these heights we hold most of vovchansk and below the frost, which is in another part on the slopes, or in separate regions in vchansk itself, mind? in july they are trying to advance, we also stabilized there at the expense of those already prepared bukryons, not where it was not ready on the first lines, but the second third line, which we are talking about, i.e. stabilization came, not only that, they pulled up experienced reserves, this is very important, who have experience in combat work, because those who were partially lacking and are now figuring out whether they retreated on their own, or whether they still held their position and before such a situation, it is necessary to do better was to leave, well, this is already an investigation. and the most important thing is the fact that professional units have arrived, brought up military equipment, including western ones, which seem to be arriv

on the second line, where it actually takes place, it is on north of kharkiv liptsi, and directly vavchanskrn part from kharkiv, and there are more powerful lines closer to kharkiv, but the enemy must be stopped and at a greater distance as possible in order to have time. not only to stop him, but to destroy his forces and with the corresponding potential to move, you carry out counterattacks, and therefore, it means that the defense in the kharkiv direction is being moved now, and the issue of the direction of sums is also being considered. mr. general, against the background of the current situation is unfolding in... the north of kharkiv region , the issue was and remains relevant of closing the sky over kharkiv, air defense systems, today volodymyr zelenskyi spoke with antony blinken and asked for two more patriot systems in order to save the people of kharkiv, the civilians of kharkiv from constant strikes, which the russian occupiers are inflicting on kharkiv. a number of german politicians are generally considered to be in favor. it is necessary to involve the air defense systems of

started there a few days ago, it seems that 600 people remained there, a large part of them left vavchanskwe are talking about kharkiv, then we... understand that the enemy has used cabs, artillery, and rockets there to attack kharkiv, now, of course, he will try, if the enemy's idea of ​​advancing deep into our territory succeeds, then then , in fact, certain areas of kharkiv are under threat from artillery fire, this is, of course, one of the enemy's tasks to create pressure on the population of kharkiv. to leave the city in view of the threat of increased shelling of this important settlement, so that in any case such a threat certainly exists, and then, conditionally speaking, the issue of evacuation from kharkiv is, conditionally speaking, well, clear coordination with the authorities, but i repeat, the enemy's offensive forces are not enough to cover or enter kharkiv there, but they are enough for shelling this city. and could something similar happen, for example, on the sumy border, or are we in sumy oblast, are we ready for it? in fact, when we talk about these regions, bryansk, k

ivan, what is the situation in vavchansk? yesterday, we talked on the air about the fact that volunteers are no longer allowed in the city, only the police and the military go to pick up people at their own risk, these days after. for the death of a policeman's car, which was attacked by a drone, and they continue to go after people to take them out, save them, evacuate them from the city. yes, our police officers are probably the best. like volunteers like workers of the state emergency service, at the moment the situation in the city is very tense, there are still people who want to leave, but, unfortunately, they are in those points, there are quite a few of them, according to the applications received there on the hotline, but according to their locations, it's actually already on the very front line, so it's working now. with the military, and with the national field, and with volunteers, in order to take maximum measures to protect the population of ukraine, but at the moment the evacuation situation is under control, i

the evening, we had a report from the general headquarters, which said that in certain areas near vavchanskar lukyanivtsi, er... the armed forces there moved to other positions to ensure the preservation of personnel, that is, in fact we can talk about the fact that the enemy is trying to push through our defenses in two directions, precisely in the direction of liptsi and in ovchansk itself, but in general, i think that now it is precisely the use of reserves on our part that makes this effort. stop the enemy, u in any case, we understand that now the enemy will implement a number of strategies, but to a large extent, in comparison with the first days of the fighting in this area, when the enemy was actively using armored vehicles, now we can see from the video what is being used, in particular, near the military is primarily manpower, sometimes it is used rather unorganized, because in these videos we see that these groups of russian military ... are moving there, rather unorganized, but in any case this advantage in the number of personnel composition is indicated, plus let's not forget

enemy to direct artillery strikes, as you can see, there are terrible shots, we all see from this vavchansk, this area should have been resettled a long time ago, given to the people, found, given to the people a place where they could not leave it under fire, but before that they could leave and settle down in a safe place. yes, mr. artem, we would also like to ask you about the situation in the kupyan direction. we understand that despite the fact that the enemy is now intensively trying to push through in the north of kharkiv oblast, the situation near kupyansk is also quite tense, what is happening there now? well, well, actually, now everything is chained to vovchansk na in principle, the situation in kupyansk has not changed, it is fundamental there, the front line is formed there and was formed a long time ago, the soldiers in principle know all their positions, they know their weak spots there, but of course the enemy is... trying to leave now also to attack, because he hopes that we have diverted the troops from there, and our defenses in that direction have become less protected,

is already along the second line, where it passes, it is north of kharkov, liptsi, and directly vavchanskthe northern, eastern part from kharkov, and there are more powerful lines closer to kharkov, but the enemy must be stopped and as far as possible in order to have time. not only to stop it, but to destroy it its strength and with the corresponding potential to pass, you conduct counterattacks, and therefore, it means that now the defense in the kharkiv direction is being moved, and the issue of the direction of sums is also being considered. mr. general, against the background of the situation that is currently unfolding in... the north of kharkiv region, the question was and remains relevant: closing the sky over kharkiv, ppu systems, today volodymyr zelenskyy spoke with antony blinken and asked for two more patriot systems in order to save citizens of kharkiv, civilians of kharkiv from the constant blows inflicted russian occupiers in kharkiv. a number of german politicians generally consider it... expedient to involve the air defense systems of nato, in particular poland and romani

quickly, because... this is what they have done with the city, they are russians, they did it with vavchanskwith kharkiv region, they managed to film kostyantyn liberov from a drone, and he is actually nearby, the liberovs are constantly being photographed, they are filming, they are filming everything that is happening along the front line, and for me personally, it was such a reminder of the same massacre that roman just mentioned, which are very similar things, when only ... dead civilians and quite obviously from above , when they shot that, because it was an arrival, it was them drones, it was not some other type of weapon, it was drones, that is, they russians saw who they were killing, and it was obvious that these were civilians, that they were not military, or for such things, for such killings, for such destruction , you already have some kind of reaction from the world, or someone has somehow reacted some, well, for now that's all. there is a reaction from russia, i have already watched how they worked it out on the federal channels, they say it is a fake, it is a production, that

but the russian shelling does not stop, there are threats, today, in particular, the head of the vavchansk administration was wounded, our counterattacks continue. continue in other districts on the border of kharkiv oblast. and our results in repulsing assaults have resulted in the destruction of the occupier become more the ukrainian general staff reports that there were 10 combat clashes during the day in the direction of kharkiv, the armed forces of ukraine repelled attacks in the area of ​​the villages of liptsi, staritsa and near the city of vovchansk. at the same time, the forces of the russian federation are trying to break through the defense in the direction of shebekino-vovchansk. well, as a result of a cluster projectile attack on the village of vovchansk community, he was wounded. head of the vovchansk military city administration, tamas hambrashvili, who joined us on air this week and talked about the situation in vovchansk. as told in the village of the kharkiv regional village administration was shelled right in the middle of the day, when volunteers and civil emergency ser

such a military rink, and somewhere there was a situation, that there were no troops in the city of vavchanskou see, and it was a miracle that they did not capture its east completely and a motorized infantry brigade moved there, later, which took up positions for... started combat operations for the northern part of vovchansk and took up commanding positions , that is, if we are already in such a situation that we are waiting for where the enemy will strike, where he will strengthen, there is a rather complex military operation with the involvement of all types of weapons, we see airplanes, rotorcraft, which our fighters periodically fly in kharkiv . go to to the attack or go out after the attack and fly back, that is, the situation is difficult here, and it is added that the shelling of kharkiv is superimposed on all this, but the army holds on, fights, strikes, counterattacks, as you said, this is all true, well, let's see, i hope that everything will turn out in our favor, thank you, god bless you, mr. bohdan, god bless you, kharkiv, god bless you, bohdan tkachuk was in touch with us, a d

today. the usual active front line, that is why people are being evacuated en masse, especially from vavchansklages located on the border. evacuation has been announced, i believe that it is very necessary, because it is impossible to expose people to such danger. in vovchanka, by the way, there are people who were there yesterday, for example, they they tell that the city is practically destroyed. and it looks the same as avtiyivka, mariupol and so on, everything is destroyed, therefore it makes no sense to live under shelling and expose yourself to danger, evacuation must be carried out actively so that people, people remain alive, frankly speaking , so this is the right, correct action, i believe, i urge everyone to actively evacuate. of this entire village. thank you mr. alexander, hang in there, we hope this all ends soon, actually in the kharkiv region, and they will not visit us again. oleksandr skoryk was with us, a deputy of the kharkiv regional council. we continue our conversation and yuriy fedorenko, the commander of the akhiles shock air defense battalion, joins our broadcast. mr.

is a meat processing plant in the north of vovchansk, this is exactly the area right on north of vavchansksterday there was an address by the head of the kharkiv military administration, where synigubov, where he just made an address from the north. part of vovchansk just behind the vovcha river, which crosses this city. and in the evening address of the general staff, it was said that... a cleanup is being carried out in vovchansk, which in principle corresponds to reality, because we saw there, in particular, the actions of the russian volunteer corps, which is operating there in the direction of this meat processing plant on armored personnel carriers 82 and, that is, actually now this zone is such where our units are operating, trying to push out the enemy, and in general the enemy continues offensive actions, the situation is extremely dynamic. in particular, yesterday the secretary of the national security council spoke about the fact that the enemy has more than 30,000 in this area and the enemy is trying to carry out attacks there, but he also spoke about the fact that there is no

near vavchansk, they occupied three villages and approached the northern outskirts of the city, wherebattles are currently taking place. it is obvious that the available resources do not allow the russians to advance on kharkiv, but this is not their goal. they want to get as close as possible to the city in order to increase their own capabilities of terrorist destruction of kharkiv with the help of artillery and mlrs. in addition, the enemies want to move the reserves of the armed forces of ukraine from donetsk region, which has so far been partially successful, because the third the assault brigade, which is not used to sitting on the defensive, at the same time there is no occupation of vovchansk. has no strategic significance other than informational. in 5 days, it became obvious that the armed forces of ukraine managed to hold the defense, and the pace of the invaders' offensive dropped significantly. instead, everyone noticed how much russian losses had increased. in one day, our soldiers set an absolute record for the destruction of rashists. 1,700 soldiers, twice as many as u

told you, i warned you, i don't want that, but i believe that now the enemy will try to destroy vavchanskhey destroyed bakhmut and capture vovchansk. i believe that now it is necessary to strengthen the defense of vovchansk, because really, really , you will hear, just hear me, it is necessary to strengthen the defense of vovchansk, so that later we do not sing letters, songs, vovchansk fortress. if i note here that these days there is a lot of information around vovchansk magazine. they film the evacuation and hear what it's like there the situation, and people are telling and the testimonies are direct, there are also testimonies that civilians were captured and some managed to escape, what do you know about this, are russian forces holding people captive somewhere in vovchanchansk, do you know anything about it? i don't know, today we saw civilians there, some women, some other people there, two or three people moving around civilly with carts, with wheelbarrows, it's simple. i don't understand what they are doing there, well, i didn't understand it in principle, no , no, it doesn't wo

there were already battles in the center, and because of this, volunteers were not allowed to enter vavchansk, only armored police could pick people up, and volunteers could pick them up from the transfer point, that's because of this whole story. and because there were such safe, secure measures, the volunteers could not take people because there was constant shelling, the russians see it in the drones that monitor the territory, they see that the volunteers are coming, they see that people are evacuating, the civilian population, they see what is written on i don't care about evacuation, children, but still they work in these territories, in these places, for volunteers, for... and because of such a security situation, the evacuation of the vovchan district, more precisely the samochan district, is now stopped, only the police can go there, people , who remain in ovchansk, if they are physically able, they go out at night through other settlements, where volunteers or the police can come to pick them up, where there is not such shelling as in vochansk itself, that's why, i read today how im

let's say, difficult, everyone thought that they were going in the direction of lypka, would capture vavchansk could advance further in the direction of the road to kupyan in order to cut off the rear of our troops, and there were difficulties, we did not understand , how much the enemy will be able to raise reserves, now the situation is that the enemy is stopped, he is not advances practically, if it advances, it is enough with heavy losses. and we see that he cannot restore them in time, that is why the fighting continues, but such a movement is even strong, well, let's say, there is no operational enemy, so vovchansk, despite the fact that, let's say, there was a lot of information that the enemy was captured, according to my information, that the enemy is in the western part, controls some part there, but still controls most of the city, is controlled by the armed forces of ukraine, that is... defenses, and the enemy is there tried several times, then tank attacks, then infantry attacks, and, but they were unsuccessful, our defense forces, well, practically destroyed them, and now our res

think the war is far away, no, it's very... it's getting shorter, one more month therefore, the same vavchansk absolutely introduced a normal way of life, concerts were held there, people worked there, schools, kindergartens, cultural events took place there, now this city is half wiped off the ground, a month has passed, because we must always be ready for war, and there is no need for someone else's war in ukraine, and all mayors must understand. and western ukraine, and frankivsk, and uzhhorod, and mukachevo, that if we do not defend kharkiv now, if we do not defend pokrovsk, kramatorsk and solavyansk now, this war will reach their cities and to, to their personal apartments, that's what's important, and i would, of course, advise the honorable officials, because recently the guys asked me what would make the officials remember that there is a daily war, well, i'll tell you what... forced that, if we were the majority of men, officials would be called to the front, and i think it is fair, we have very active women in ukraine, they could perfectly replace most of the officials, because the o

settlements that will be occupied, but i would like to note that at the time when we evacuated the vavchansk, then some, some residents, for example, voluntarily, voluntarily evacuated and starosal. community, which is actually near vovchansk, closer to kharkiv, it is more southerly, and some people evacuated their discretion is already from it, considering again the fact that, let's say about the fact that the entire north, in fact, it is part of the chuguyiv kharkiv district, it is also the dergachiv community, tserkunivska, starosaltivska, lipetsk, vovchanska, zolochivska, all these regions the communities that i have listed, they are very powerful and are bombarded with kababs and artillery. er with a very high intensity, mr. ivanov, i ask you to stay in touch, because anastasia is joining us, she is currently in one of the eu countries, she herself is from vovchanchansk, i would just like that you listened to her story and maybe answered, anastasia, i welcome you on the air, you hear me, you see, your father was in the village of staritsa at the time of the russian troops' attack, it is

we can see how the reports are spreading, the enemy is already storming vavchansk, someone there hasroken through somewhere and so on, well, this is a lie, the enemy is not storming vovchansk, has not broken through anywhere, so let's understand this, don't panic, maintain information hygiene, but here too and... definitely to our informants from the armed forces, well, to respond quickly, to inform people so that, you know, there was no feeling that we were being lied to, and because if it appears, then immediately there is some trust in all this russian information, and they will definitely use it against ukraine, so it is such a mutual work here , well , it’s definitely not worth it, you shouldn’t think that it’s unimportant to refute fakes, fakes should be refuted for... let’s give two points, two important points, the first is the mobilization of prisoners, voluntary, and the second is, what is currently being considered in the council, well, that's it. the issue of economic reservation, let's start with the tied, what was stated that approximately 10-20 thousand such citizens c
